Without knowing any of the difficulties of dealing with hindi, this is
what I would try.

1. Do your work in Open office
2. Export your work in OO as PDF
3. Download the latest Scribus for windows,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.3.8/
4. Use that version of Scribus to import the OO generated pdf (Image
frame->get image(pdf)->use the Image tab of Properties to adjust size

It may work, it may not.
